A proposed sewer line in the Germany Creek area of McDuffie County for a proposed new subdivision on Whiteoak Road was the impetus for a recent informational meeting with parcel owners, engineers and city and county leaders.
The Thomson-McDuffie Water-Sewer Commission met with the parties who could be affected by the installation of an additional gravity sewer main, starting east of Harrison Road, continuing northeast past the eastern bypass to Interstate 20. The commission is considering sewer service for a proposed new subdivision just beyond the bypass on White Oak Road and for future construction along the south side of Cobbham Road. The proposed sewer system may also allow for attachment of existing properties east of Thomson.

Authorities are shown on the side of I-20 in Warren County as they search in the woods for two male subjects.

The manhunt in Warren County has been called off as of the evening of Sept. 20.
According to Georgia State Patrol Grovetown Post Commander Sgt. Marc Meeler, the manhunt began on Sept. 19 after a trooper was pursuing a vehicle on Interstate 20 near mile marker 172. He said the trooper clocked the vehicle going approximately 100 mph. The trooper pursued the vehicle into Warren County, where he utilized a PIT maneuver, causing the subject's vehicle to wreck into the ditch near mile marker 161 in Warren County.
